someone please help me.. i can’t figure out what to do. but i need this explained step by step so i know what to do next time.

Step-by-step explanation:

½(x-2) = 8 + 5x

Multiply both sides by 2

2⋅½(x-2) = 2(8 + 5x)

1(x-2) = 2(8 + 5x)

Apply the distributive rule

x - 2 = 16 + 10x

Subtract x from both sides

-2 = 16 + 9x

Subtract 16 from both sides

-18 = 9x

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x

-18 ÷ 9 = 9x ÷ 9

-2 = x

step-by-step explanation:

in the absence of parentheses, i will have to make some assumptions:   i interpret your (3x+5/y^6)(4y^3/5)​ to mean:

3x + 5     4y^(3/5)       (3x + 5)(4)

* =

    y^6             1               y^(6-3/5)

if this is not what you expected, repost your question using parentheses to indicate whether you meant

4y^3

    or   4y^(3/5)
